Java / Swing: convert text string to shape

I want to convert some arbitrary text into shape (Java. AWT. Shape), and then stroke / fill the shape What shall I do?

Solution

Well, I don't know the answer, but after a little adjustment and stamping, with the help of eclipse content, I find that this seems to be what you need:

Editor: I changed the code to change the way the string is displayed. Why did you ask what you asked:) try it It presents a string of red and dashed lines

import java.awt.Basicstroke;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import java.awt.Shape;
import java.awt.font.GlyphVector;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class Test extends JPanel{

    private Shape s;

    public test() {
        Font f = getFont().deriveFont(Font.BOLD,70);
        GlyphVector v = f.createGlyphVector(getFontMetrics(f).getFontRenderContext(),"Hello");
        s = v.getOutline();
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,300));
    }
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        Graphics2D g2 = (Graphics2D)g.create();
        g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING,RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
        g2.translate(100,150);
        g2.rotate(0.4);
        g2.setPaint(Color.red);
        g2.fill(s);
    g2.setPaint(Color.black);
        g2.setstroke(new Basicstroke(3,Basicstroke.CAP_BUTT,Basicstroke.JOIN_ROUND,1,new float[]{1,0.4f,1.5f},0));
        g2.draw(s);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Test");
        Component c = new test();
        f.getContentPane().add(c);
        f.setDefaultCloSEOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

Also note that you can get each character in the string by calling the following string:

getGlyphOutline(glyphIndex)
